AgentsOfNewYork

One of the most successful agents in New York City is Zalman Silber,
of the Empire State Building???s Skyride fame. Already a star
performer at famed New York Life Insurance (1993 President???s Council
member, 1994 Agent of the Year), Silber went on to found the popular
amusement ride, which had city makers and shakers attending its grand
opening such as then-Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.Zalman Silber has
been a popular guest lecturer at some of the leading institutions for
business topics, from the Sy Syms School of Business at Yeshiva
University to talks organized by Cornell University???s Department of
Applied Economics and Management.
Zalman Silber???s business interests have expanded beyond rides
to financial dealings and marketing. He is also greatly given over to
numerous charitable concerns involving the preservation of Yiddishkeit
and the world of the Ashkenaz.

Zalman Silber

A quick chronology of his career follows.
Skyline Multimedia Entertainment was established to handle
Silber???s related business ventures involving rides and similar
amusements. These are New York Skyride, XS New York, Oztrek, Skywalk,
and The Edge. Evidently, success in these endeavors has resulted in new
business interests

in the fields of targeted marketing and money
management for high-worth individuals and institutions. These career
new developments are in the form of ICES, or International Commerce
Exchange System, and American Heritage Holdings, respectively. A
general business consultancy has also been established to provide advice
on all aspects of today???s business environment, from traditional
fundamentals to website development.
In addition to purely business matters, Silber credits his serial
success to his deep devotion and has taken on numerous charitable
causes, as follows.
Arachim is an organization dedicated to preserving traditional
Jewish values in the modern world by integrating them with everyday
life, from martial arts to motorcycling. Chesed L???Avraham and Shvilim
are both concerned with children???s welfare, specifically the
abandoned or abused in Israel and those with special needs born to
families that cannot afford to meet them, respectively. Meor Hatorah
makes stipends available to needy religious families so that studies can
be pursued regardless of income, benefiting approximately eight hundred
young men in twenty-five locations throughout the world. Nachal Novea
is an ambitious project to realize an old vision, the restoration of the
ancient city of Tsfat. There is now a fully functioning synagogue and
modern mikveh, with a kollel that supports a hundred and thirty
full-time students and over seventy babies and toddlers in the communal
nursery.
